It it had not been for the fact that some cattle not catalogued wereoffered for sale, thus giving tne ouytri no uno upon them, the average would have ren much higher.

CO.VTRACT OK STATU PRIXTER. At toraey-Oeaeral Rales Office Moat Be Opea to Air ai Qual ified te Do Work. SALE.r, Or, Dec. 15. (Special.) That the State Printing Board will make an investigation of the contract which State Printer Harris has entered nto with the Allied Trades Unions of this city, in which he agrees to employ no compositors but members of the lo cal Typographical Union, was the state ment of one of the members today. While Mr. Harris says the contract was made primarily to obtain the use of the. union label on state matter and may be abrogated at any time, it is de clared that his action is contrary to a ruling of the Attorney-General made a.t August. Soon after he became State Printer Mr. Harris said he would unionize the office by entering into a. contract with the Typographical Union. He also said he would pay the Portland scale, but he State Printing Board refused to give him permission to do that, de- larinsr that the men under him shouro. be pakl the Salem scale. Attorney-General Crawtord. In his opinion, held that the act 'creating the Hat salary plan of conducting the of fice did not empower the State Printer to enter into a contract with the union and if It did. it could not be done, be cause it would be violative of the con stitution, which prohibit class legis lation. The Attorney-General said that un der the law the office must be open to all persons nualilled to do the work nd that there could be no union re strictions. The contract between Mr. Harris and the Allied Trades Union makes It in cumbent Oji him to employ none but union men and to abide by the rules and regulations of the union. The late W. S. Dunlway, who was State Printer, employed union men and a number of instances paid higher than the union scale, but he opposed entering into a contract with the union. Mr. Harris says that the State Print. ers prior to the election of Mr. Dunl way had contracts with the union, gJv ing them the right to use the union label, but persons who are familiar with the work done In the department say the label was not used. Although Mr. Harris entered into the contract with the union early in Octo ber, the board knew nothing of It until today, and will give it consideration at the next meeting. The contract 1 have." said Mr. Har ris, "is entirely different from the one that drew the opinion from the Attorney-General. That one was to be per manent, whereas this one may be abro gated at any time and was made for the purpose of obtaining permission to use the label."

The saloon license fees of this city were raised from I1S0O a year to $:1000 a year last night at an adjourned session of the City Council. Tho old ordinance limited the number of aaloons to "two with a license of llSOw a year. More revenue was desired and th;re was a strong feeling against granting any more licenses, so the amount was doubled and the limit left the same. It is believed that this is ths largest license charged on the Pacific Coast. Ijopan Post Klects. GRANT3 PASS, Or, Dec. 12. (Spe cial) General Logan Post.

LABEL SYSTEM ATTACKED Oregon State Horticultural Society Recommends Better Classifica tion Plan National Standard for Boxes to Be Urged. After Father C V. O'Hara. chairman of the Industrie! Welfare Commission, had stood before them for an hour and a half, hearing their questions and an swering their arguments, the members of the Oregon State Horticultural So cietyyesterday withdrew a resolution aimed to restrict the operation of the Commission in the fruit-picking, pack ing and canning Industry, and substi tuted for It a resolution of indorsement of the Commission. "Resolved, that the Oregon State Horticultural Society expresses Its con fidence in the Welfare Commission and Its ability to deal with any questions In which this society or its members may be Interested." was the form in which the resolution was adopted. It was decided further to appoint the officers of the society as a speclKl committee to confer with the Welfare Commission and co-operate In every way possible in dealing with questions Involving the fruit Industry. . Father O Mara pointed out that the points raised by the society really were outside the Jurisdiction of the Welfare Commission, since the 10-hour law was a state law. Independent of tho Com mission. Special Permits Possible. Emergencies arising which demanded employment for more than 19 hours, he said, should cause little trouble, since it might be possible for special permits to be given to the fruitgrowers in such occasions. The fruitgrowers advanced as their chief complaint the fact that weather conditions frequently arise In the pick ing and packing season -which make necessary long hours if the crops are to be saved. The afternoon session, following the discussion with Father O'Hara. was de voted to consideration of establishing a National standard for apple boxes. The society indorsed the standard now existing in Oregon and Washington and decided to go before the Federal Con gress, urging the adoption of - this standard for the country at large. C Whisler, of Med ford, the newly- elected president of the society, will be sent to Washington to work for ti e measure. Another point that . caused some discussion yesterday was the system of labeling apple packages, which some characterized aa false and misleading. The apples are sold in three grades extra fancy," "fancy" and "choice. This, it was held, places 'choice" ap ples really in a class little better than culls, yet the term indicates to the layman that they are the best apples obtainable. A resolution was passed Condemning misbranding of apples and recommending establishment of a bet ter system of classification. Pertlaad Favored as Center. The movement of the Portland Cham ber of Commerce to work for the mar keting of Northwest fruit to the Kast via the Panama Canal, with Portland as the central Western shipping point. was indarsed, and the society will co operate with the Chamber in the work. A resolution was also adopted, calling for the continuation of the custom of holding a National apple day. No apple show Is to be held next year In ronectlon with the annual meet ing of the society, hut Instead the so ciety will do all In Its power to assist in the upbuilding of the Land Products Show for 1914. which Is to be the local forerunner of the Panama-Pacific Ex position. Resolutions of condolence for tne rel atives of Dr. O. P. 8. Plummer and Er. Samuel Robinson, deceased, were adopted. Both men were old and ac tive members In the society. Speakers yesterday were D. A. Sny der, Professor F. C. Bradford, of Ore gon Agricultural College; c A. Map boeuf. Albert Brownell. W. D. B. Rod son. H. B. Miller. C E. Whlslcr. Fred Groner and E. H. Shepard.
